    Re: Lost a Thread????? check Kilt Advice

    I posted to that thread, which has been moved to Kilt Advice.

    I hope that Jock Scot sees it and maybe clues us in on Scottish practices. If I recall correctly, they were wearing kilts in THE QUEEN while stalking. I gather stalking differs that much from shooting in that I believe someone has already observed that nobody wears kilts shooting...

    Tartan kilts(any kilt) are almost never worn out on the hill deer stalking, or for woodland stalking, these days. A few kilts, a very few, will be seen early in the grouse season on the moor where barbed wire and midges are absent, but for bird shooting in general tweed plus 4's/2's/breeks are the preferred option. I do wear a waxed cotton "over kilt" over my tweed plus 4's, instead of water proof over trousers, should the weather require it and a much better, by far, option it is.
